Saving on CPU Costs, Reducing Latency, and Increasing Throughput

Shared Memory Communications (SMC) is a powerful IBM Z enterprise data center network communications solution that could offer you savings in network related CPU costs, reducing latency, and increasing throughput. 

The original version of SMC was limited to TCP connections for hosts that have direct access to the same IP subnet. Now Shared Memory Communications Version 2 (SMCv2) enables SMC over multiple IP subnets which extends the benefits of RDMA to additional application workloads!

Are you ready to unleash the power of SMCv2 in your enterprise? Check out this video to explore how this technology might be beneficial to your enterprise.

SMCv2 reduces the cost of network communications by extending the benefits of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology across multiple IP subnets using RDMA over Converged Ethernet version 2 (RoCEv2). RoCEv2 extends the reach and scope of SMC to additional networks and application workloads in the enterprise. SMCv2 applies to TCP/IP socket applications using RoCEv2 over standard Ethernet technology.
